1982 Toyota Corolla, Very Clean With A/C, Cruise Control, And an MP3 Stereo

 This auction is for a 1982 Toyota Corolla in excellent condition. Has A/C, cruise control, an MP3/CD stereo, is very clean and it runs good! My grandparents bought this car new in 1982 and I am the second, the current, and only other owner of this Corolla. It is virtually impossible to find another Corolla this old in this good of condition! Original paint, 3T-C engine, K&N air filter, original wheels, have the title in my name, it's a great car! Have had people drive up and want to but this car several times. Now, it's not perfect. Was in a minor fender bender recently, so it does need a little body work, mainly on the hood to bring it back to excellent shape. See the photos. Also the passenger door rubs ever so slightly when opening as does the hood when opening, both from the fender bender. There are only two or three pea sized rust spots, which can be easily fixed with a little time, bondo, primer, and an included can of Sherwin Williams automotive paint that was made to exactly match the current paint color on this car. Also the driver door had a couple of dents which have been fixed and the lower panel only has been repainted with the Sherwin Williams paint. It looks great but if you wanted to make it look perfect, which it can, you might need to spend some more time putting on more coats of paint and wet sanding with four thousand grit sandpaper or finer. But it is nice as it is. You will also need a new radiator, this one has a tiny leak, and if you need heat, will need a new heater core also. You can use the A/C to defrost in the winter if your winters are mild, but just keep that in mind for defrosting the windows during the winter time. Emergency break works good, brakes are in good shape, rear Michelin tires have about 75% life left and the front ones are still drivable but it is really time to replace the front tires. Does not leak oil. The stereo is new. Has a new drive train. Has tinted windows. The driver side window tint has a small tear as seen in the photo. The rest of the windows are fine. Window tint is less than a year old. Has a trailer hitch and a working flat four wiring harness. Spare tire is good. Low fuel light bulb on dash is out, but fuel gauge and all gauges work properly. Interior light works but the switch broke so you have to use the key or something to move between off, door, and on. Not a big deal. Am selling this great Corolla because I bought a Tacoma truck for work, do not need two vehicles, and do not want to spend the time and money to fix the radiator and the hood. Also there are a couple of pieces of plastic trim on the front by the headlights that are cracked as seen in the photos. All of the original trim is still on the vehicle and in good shape, except for those couple of pieces. It is a five speed manual transmission. The miles are the original miles. This car has spent most of it's nights in a garage or under a car cover so that is why it is in such good condition. One tiny crack on the dashboard but otherwise it is also in excellent shape, as seen in the photos. Seats are in excellent condition. Oh, the driver side seat belt is a little frayed but it is only an aesthetic concern, not a safety concern. And included is a matching seat belt webbing if you want to replace that. The ceiling material has been replaced, the original one was falling down, and the current one is in  excellent shape and it is not falling down. Has an antique Florida license plate. No bumper stickers or stickers of any kind on the car. All the windows work properly. All the locks work properly. So in summary, it is basically impossible to find another Corolla this old, in this good of condition, that runs this good; except for this slight damage (which you may be able to fix yourself in a few days) resulting from the minor fender bender. That's it! Have enjoyed driving this great car for many years and once you fix the front end of the body, am sure that you will enjoy driving it for many more years!
  Update: Since typing the above description, the car has sat for a couple of weeks and now it won't start. Battery seems fine. It is probably the starter. The starter may work again, it may just be kind of locked up now from sitting around. You can probably pop the clutch to get it started on a safe incline, or it may possibly need a new starter or something. It may be a simple fix, I don't know. Tested the battery though and it is showing the proper voltage. Also there are no other major dents or scratches on the car anywhere else other that what is described above. It is very clean and the paint is not peeling anywhere. The paint is original and is in very good condition. Also I might can tow/deliver this car to you, if you want and that will cost extra.

NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.

2019 Toyota Avalon vs. full-size sedans: How they compare on paper

Mon, Apr 23 2018

Full-size sedans aren't exactly in great demand at the moment, and at least one of the vehicles in this comparison has been rumored to be on the endangered species list. Yet, we've just had our first drive in the 2019 Toyota Avalon, and if anything has a chance of rejuvenating the segment a bit, it's an all-new version of what has long been the segment's benchmark. To see how the new Avalon compares, we've put together the below spreadsheet featuring the Avalon's primary apples-to-apples rivals, the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala. We also included the Nissan Maxima, which is comparable in price, sales and non-luxury badge, and which offers the sort of increased driver engagement promised by the new Avalon XSE and Touring trim levels. We also included the outgoing Avalon for reference as well as that car's luxury cousin, the Lexus ES, which can definitely be cross-shopped with the luxuriously trimmed Avalon Limited. You can use our Compare Cars tool to create your own comparison, such as one featuring the rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger or even Kia Stinger. Alright, enough chit chat. On to the spreadsheet. Performance and fuel economy The GM sedans may come standard with four cylinders, including a mild hybrid system in the LaCrosse, but puh-lease. The V6 is the name of the game in this segment, with outputs now surpassing the 300-horsepower mark. The LaCrosse is the horsepower and torque champ, though it also weighs a bit more than the new 2019 Avalon, so acceleration is likely to be comparable. The Impala weighs a lot more and has only a six-speed automatic, so despite having a wee bit more power, one should expect it to be pokier (not a good sign for a car rumored to be on the chopping block). One would expect the Maxima's 300 hp and lowest curb weight to result in the quickest acceleration, but then it's also strapped to a CVT, which despite being better than ever, is still a CVT. Things get worse for Chevy when you consider the Impala's base four-cylinder gets the same 25 mpg combined as the Avalon's V6 — once again a segment best. Now, should you really prioritize fuel economy, the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid really stands out with a 43 mpg rating (or 44 with the base XLE trim) that bests the outgoing Avalon Hybrid. Honestly, after driving this new Hybrid, it actually seems like it would be the best bet for most buyers. There's sufficient power, and it only costs $1,000 more than the comparable V6 version.

Watch these Super Bowl car commercials [UPDATE]

Sat, Feb 2 2019

On Sunday, February 3, the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Some will watch because of the storyline of the old-school dynasty facing off against the new-school wunderkinds, but a large chunk of people will solely be watching for the commercials. Lucky for those who slot into the latter category, many of the manufacturers release their super bowl ads ahead of time, or have simply opted to release the commercials only online. Scroll down to see what car companies have already shown their cards. Audi Audi goes the comedic route in its clip for the Big Game. It starts with a grandpa showing his grandson a gorgeous Audi e-tron GT tucked away in a garage before he's shaken awake. Turns out he was just choking on a cashew in his cubicle at his boring job. Dodge Dodge does what it knows: create enough smoke to punch more holes in the ozone layer. Set to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia (the Super Bowl is in Atlanta, get it!?), a Challenger SRT Hellcat widebody, Charger SRT Hellcat, and Durango SRT are seen ripping through a city, leaving a trail of rubber crumbs in their wakes. Genesis Genesis has not yet released a commercial prior to the Super Bowl, but it is the official luxury vehicle of the NFL. Because of this, Genesis is hosting a fan experience for 10 days before the game. It will showcase the brand's cars, offer games, and have photos opportunities and autograph days. Hyundai Jason Bateman alert! Hyundai is one of the few companies to hook a major celebrity for its advertisement, and the casting is perfect. Bateman plays a doorman who takes people to various terrible events in life, including root canals, the middle seat, and shopping for a car. The ad centers around Hyundai's Shopper Assurance, which is Hyundai's new method for car shopping. Jeep An old 1963 Jeep Gladiator finds its strength in the crusher and transforms into a a new 2020 Gladiator, with a firm declaration that the nameplate is officially back. Kia Through Kia's commercial, a young boy wonders out loud what it'd be like if the millions spent on Super Bowl commercials were used to help others.
